REDESIGNING your FAITH FORMATION
PROCESS
START here!
Read the DIOCESE OF YOUNGSTOWN CURRICULUM FOR CATECHESIS
Remember that your textbook series is not your guide -- it's a tool to help you with your goal.
The Curriculum is your guide!
The Diocesan Curriculum for Catechesis is mandated for use
in all Catholic schools, parish-based, and home-based faith formation for preschool through grade 12.
The learning objectives for grades 9-12 are also very beneficial for planning adult faith formation opportunities.

Your goal is not INFORMATION,
but TRANSFORMATION
Take into consideration.............
- Include, but don't overwhelm parents in their role as catechists -- feed them too!
- Tap into the gifts of your parishioners - those willing to contact families with encouragement, those willing to film catechists teaching or leading activities, those with special talent in arts, crafts, hands-on activities, those willing to assemble home activity boxes, etc.
VISUALIZE YOUR OPTIONS
for both faith formation and sacramental preparation.
Virtual gatherings can not replace the reality that we need to gather together in real time. We need to find ways to combine virtual and in-person gatherings.
